Beauty Tip #10 No-chip nail secret

Want to learn a trick on how to paint your nails like a pro and keep them looking fresh longer and on how to keep them from chipping. I get tired of painting my nails and in less than three days they are chipped and back to the way they looked before they were ladies don’t you hate that. Well I have four great and easy steps here that will help prevent that from happening again.

Remove all nail polish

-First remove all nail polish from nails, this will also help remove dirt and oils from your nails and will give you a good base to work with. Once your nails are smooth and clean, move onto the polish.

       

Use a base coat and top coat

-The base coat is usually always forgotten before painting the nails. But if you use the base coat it’s almost like a primer and will help smooth and protect your nails. Make sure you apply to your tips as well-this will help prevent chipping. After your base coat and polish of your choice give yourself a couple of minutes to dry and then use a top coat to seal the polish.

            

                                                          

                                               

                                

Allow time for polish to dry

-This can be very hard. But it’s a must in order for nails to come out the way you want. Not giving your nails enough time to dry will lead to smudging and that’s not cute, so just be patient and give your nails time to dry.

Cold water

-Looking for a way to make sure your nails are dry? Place nails into cold water to dry the polish, it really works wonders. After giving your nails time to dry, next dip you nails into cold water. This will harden the nail polish.

*Now that you have completed these four steps your nails should be just the way you want them hard and with a nice shine that will hopefully last more than 3 days. I hope this works for you because it did wonders for me.
